Mantostaan director Rahat Kazmi: It takes courage to make a film on Manto's stories

In his film Mantostaan, Rahat Kazmi has brought to life the universe and characters of some of Saadat Hasan Manto's incendiary short stories. Set in the painful times of Partition, the stories touch upon events that were catalytic to the history of the subcontinent, and to Manto's own life. The director opens up on the need to reopen the conversation about Manto, and the relevance of his works today.
